Kelantan offers beauty courses to prevent its women from going into vice
The Raja Perempuan Kelantan has launched a program that teaches underprivileged girls the art of grooming — including bridal makeup, massage techniques, facial and hair care, spa and slimming treatments and salon management.And all this to prevent them from falling into the vice trap, because apparently quite a few lasses from Malaysia's poorest state migrate to KL to look for jobs and end up 'working in bars or nightclubs.'
Ordinarily this wouldn't raise an eyebrow but in a state ruled by a party that believes a woman's place is preferably by her husband's side, such a development is quite a major event.
When asked for a response, Lo'Lo Ghazali, a senior PAS leader said 'there is nothing wrong in Muslim women wanting to look beautiful for their husbands, but added that it is important to balance beauty with spirituality.

I thought it wasn't too long ago that lipsticks and perfume were considered "inviting"! This IS quite a development.
